Mrs. Gardiner: Matchmaker

A Pride and Prejudice Variation

By: Hailey Jones

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

What if Mrs. Gardiner uncovered Darcy's secret letter to Elizabeth after Hunsford?

Thus begins Mrs. Gardiner: Matchmaker...

When Mrs. Gardiner accidentally uncovers the letter Darcy wrote to her niece, she contrives to change their summer plans from touring the lakes to visiting Derbyshire, with the design that they might see Pemberley and somehow reunite Elizabeth with the man whose offer of marriage she regretfully refused.

The plan seems to work, as they run into Darcy on the grounds when they tour the estate. Mrs. Gardiner slows down her walk, giving them as much time as she can to allow them a moment to be reacquainted.

Will Darcy get a chance to prove he's a gentleman—or better yet, a chance to win Elizabeth back?

not bad, but very unpolished

it's a cute idea. I wish the writer had expanded the idea better, more. it was very nearly raw, like a first draft with not enough editing. overall, I liked it but I still believe there was too much potential unmet to receive more than 3 stars.
